Friends
Al Stewart has written a helpful book for men called The Manual: Getting Masculinity Right. One chapter covers the difficult issue of friendship. Tragically, most men have few friends.
Stewart shares several definitions of friendship, but then adds his own insightful definition.
“A friend is someone who will tell you the hard things because they care for you. It’s your friends who’ll tell you what you need to hear.”
Stewart is echoing the words of the teacher in Proverbs – “wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.”
Who are your friends, what do you need to hear from them and what do you need to say to them?
Life is too short to live without good, honest, caring friends.
Share this daily- reading.
